Klesko or Klutso?

Ryan Klesko....any thoughts? Will he have the year SD thought he would have when they traded him? he's available in my 10 player league now..worth a pickup?

i meant traded for him

Last year Ryan had almost no protection in the Padres lineup. This
year he could have a big year, he's certainly worth a late round
pickup.

I think he's worth a gamble. He hit .300 in 2002 but struggled with a shoulder injury and a bad lineup last year. He looks healthy this spring and looks driven to rebound. He won't hit 35 home runs but .295 28 95 with 8 steals is well within his reach.
